My journey towards the unexplored section of music

I remember I was in 8th grade when Iheard pop & hip-hop genre for thefirst time. I wasn’t quite sure what Iwas listening to at that time, but astime passed, I found myselfmumbling to the words of the song“Not Afraid” by Eminem. I hadn’t quitegrasped the concept of rapping at themoment, but I knew in my heart thiswas what I wanted to sing on a stagein front of an audience one day.Rap is a musical form of vocaldelivery which incorporates rhyme

and rhythmic speech. This waswhat attracted me towards rap inthe first place. I found it challengingto keep up with the rhythm of thesong and save breath for the nextwords, but challenges were whatexcited me the most.

The first time I performed in front ofpeople were my family members.The most important was the supportI got from my cousins whoencouraged me to take this to anew level and perform in mycollege.

During a rap battle or aperformance, the only thing arapper needs are breath control andproper deliverance of words.Personally, I had some troubles with

these things at first, but as youknow, practice makes a manperfect.

Rap music used to be my hideoutfrom the world, and it still is. Peoplethink rap is just a person mumblingsome words. But if you listenclosely, those words actually havedeep meanings behind them. Rap isa way to express my feelings andthis is where I got the inspiration tostart rapping. There is a time ineveryone’s life where they stand infront of their mirror and sing. Yes, Idid it too, but I did not do it for fun. Ithelped me cope with my feelingsand inner struggles and boostedpositivity inside me.

Rap is what I run towards when Iam facing any struggles. No musicexcept rap has the perfect words,rhyme and beats to lift up my moodand I guess that is why I relate to itso much.

People have down looked rap a lotand I think it needs to change.Parents want their child to learnclassical singing and most of thetime they don’t support theHollywood side of music. But that’swhat needs to change. I broughtthis change in my own home andbelieve that this change needs to bebrought worldwide. Why aren’t thererap battle shows on tv? Why aren’tthere Hollywood singing shows ontv? The few that are there, don’teven get the proper recognition that

it needs. Rap doesn’t necessarilymeans mumbling words, but itmeans expressing yourself in a waythat few people do.

My journey wasn’t all rainbows andsunshine. I had some people in mylife who didn’t support my dreamsand didn’t allow me to pursue musicas a profession because musicindustry wasn’t made for girlrappers. But now that I look back,these were small obstacles thatmade me even stronger and moreconfident when I first performed infront of an audience on stage. Asthey say, “showing them is betterthan telling them”, so the peoplewho didn’t support me actually sawwhat I was worth and the talent Ihad. I want to showcase my talent

on various platforms because otherthan studies I think I am meant forthis.

Honestly, I don’t think there are anyobstacles that stops you frompursuing your dreams or hobbies.Only thing required, is that you staystrong enough to focus on yourtalent and make sure people seethrough you.

Dentist by profession but a writer at heart. Ever since I used to read Harry Potter books as a kid, I knew I wanted to be able to write something on my own. I found out that I was passionate about it and started working as a freelance content writer for several companies and was lucky enough to be able to express my words and social media managing skills through a digital magazine named Wide Awake. Being able to express myself through words makes me feel alive. It inspires me.

A quick tip: Rule of thirds and negative space in composing photographs

The rule of thirds involves mentally dividing up your image using 2 horizontal lines and 2
vertical lines, as shown below. You then position the important elements/ subject in your scene along those lines, or at the points where they meet. Its gives a more pleasing effect to most photographs. Also, leaving negative (blank) space in the direction, the subject is looking helps draw the attention of the viewer to the subject in the photograph.

BLOGGING

Literature,for me,has always been fascinating which led me to compose my own poems. I have always been an avid reader since childhood. I first wrote one poem when I was 10. My grandpa encouraged me to continue that. And here I am with over 150 poems of my own.
I needed a digital platform to put forth my words in front of the world. Hence I created a blog named “SMITTEN BY WORDS”. I pursue it as my hobby which gives immense peace to my mind. You can visit my website at www.smittenbywords.com

Mrunali Dahikar- Modeling

Modeling has always been my passion. My inclination towards the modeling career increased after my cameo in short films during my teenage. Dentistry is my profession while modeling is my passion. I believe in following your dreams no matter how difficult it becomes to achieve. I grabbed all the opportunities that paved my way and after my cameo, I finally moved into the competitive fashion world. Success did grab my hands and I became the finalist in Ms. Vidarbh finale. I was then invited as a judge in an annual cultural gathering at Nagpur Institute of Technology. Recently, I was awarded as Ms. Best Ramp at Maharashtra Times Shrawan Queen 2019. My aim is to serve people as a skillful dentist but my definite ambition is to be a great model…
